Hola from Cruz Blanca! August 7th, 2010

Amy Schroeder-Riggio, B3′s executive director, and board members Steve Lewine and Amy Greenberg are in Peru visiting our 2010 project sites. We’ll be posting photos and updates throughout the weekend (click here for part one), stay tuned!

Cruz Blanca was an unexpected flurry of singing, dancing and joyful noise.  Right now, the camp is full of girls (ages 4-11) – each with big smiles and unending hugs for us.

The infirmary is open and much bigger than the old one, and we are told that it is a very popular spot at the camp…always lots of hugs and love to be found there. The new bathrooms are finished as well and allow the campers to use this closer facility and get back to activities much sooner. And the Fogota, well that is certainly an impressive structure! We are told that it is used almost everyday and that the campers LOVE it (as you can tell from the photo).

Everyone on the Trabajuenos team should know that their work in Cruz Bianca brings so much joy and happiness into the lives of these children and will be part of their memories for a long time to come. Saying goodbye to the children and everyone at Cruz Bianca was hard – they all send their love and gratitude to you…

Our B3 contingency is on the road heading south to San Bartolo to see the newly completed Wawawasi.
